they finish the car off nicly Simon, hope they kept you entertained while you were waiting there all day :)

Hi Matt..
There were plenty of Magazines and coffee..
The problem was that it was located in the middle of an industrial estate which itself was near nowhere so I didnt fancy going on a walkabout...
But it was worth it to have a qualirty job done within the same day..
It makes a mockery of places that claim it takes many days...
It doesnt !

I believe you're right NPUK - but they're doing it as part of rectification after my purchase, so I can't argue too much.

If I'm back in the same boat in 12 months time, then I may well look at a proper refurb like Simon's.

is it worth asking if they would consider putting the money they would spend towards the re finishing and then you pay the difference to get them the colour and finish you want?

Simon, bit late in commenting, but they work really well with the car and colour of your car, very nice.:D

Glad I could help with the discount code.

Had crossed my mind, but suspect their 'cost' would be not a lot towards the level of job Simon undertook - can't really cough up the additional at the moment...... house is forcing sale of food, clothes... oxygen, etc! :(

Looks great Simon! I like the centre caps! You certainly aren't hanging around getting things sorted :)

Hi Mark..
The centre caps are Titanium. Amazingly they are near as dam it the same colour as the bodywork on my car..
